What Are the Best Work From Home Gifts?

As someone who’s had work-from-home and remote jobs for nearly a dozen years, I’ve received my fair share of work-from-home gifts for my home office, along with other helpful items that make my remote work lifestyle easier, better, and more fun. (Thanks, everyone!)

In my experience, the best gifts for people who work from home and remotely fall into these categories:

• Home Office Gifts For People Who Work From Home (including Home Office Furniture, Electronics + Tech, and Accessories)
• Travel Gifts for People Working Remotely
• Kitchen + Foodie Work-From-Home Gifts
• Health, Wellness, and Home Fitness Gifts

Now, let’s get into the specific products within each of these work-from-home gift categories so that you can find the perfect presents for your WFH crew.

What Are the Best Home Office Gifts For People Who Work From Home?

The thing about certain gifts for people who work from home and remotely is that they’re not always the most glamorous gifts in the eyes of the buyer — unless they also happen to live a remote work lifestyle and understand their importance.

That’s especially true in this first category, home office gifts for people who work from home.

But to the recipients, these thoughtful home office gifts can be utterly life-changing, especially if they don’t have an optimal setup for their work-from-home office.

Believe me: If anyone got me these home office gifts when I was just learning how to be a freelance copywriter while working from home, I would have been eternally grateful for their ability to understand some of my most pressing needs.

So, don’t be opposed to the idea of getting your loved ones who work from home a snazzy sit-stand desk, ergonomic office chair, laptop computer, or anything else for their home office, because it could easily open up a whole new world of comfort, ease, and possibilities in their work-from-home life.

With that out of the way, let’s talk home office gifts.

1. A Comfortable + Stylish Ergonomic Home Office Chair

A sturdy and comfortable chair is essential for anyone working from a home office, especially for people who sit for hours on end. After all, it’s where you’ll be spending the majority of your workday, so you should strongly consider making a serious investment in your desk chair so that your posture stays upright and you don’t suffer from back pain as a result of something poorly made.

There are a ton of great ergonomic office chairs on the market, and Herman Miller Chairs are by far my favorite because they’re extremely comfortable, stylish, and elegant and they come with a variety of different adjustment options.

I also recommend the Steelcase Office Chairs, especially the Gesture, which is another favorite high-end desk chair because it’s super comfortable, has a ton of great features, and comes in a wide range of different colors and fabrics.

If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly that’s still well-built and comfortable, look into Autonomous Ergonomic Chairs like the ErgoChair Pro and ErgoChair Pro+, perfect for people concerned with posture who want a high-backed office chair.

You can also find budget-friendly office chairs from BizChair, including leather, fabric, and mesh, executive chairs, big-and-tall chairs, and ergonomic chairs with similar features to the higher-end products recommended.

2. An Adjustable Height Sit-Stand Home Office Desk

If someone you love works from home and they don’t already have an adjustable-height desk, we highly recommend surprising them with one as a gift.

Sitting all day is terrible for posture and can lead to a host of health problems, including back and neck pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Adjustable desks allow people to easily switch between sitting and standing positions throughout the day, which can help reduce nagging pain and improve overall productivity on the job.

My partner and I have used the Ikea Bekant for years, and its massive size makes it big enough for us both to use at the same time, whether for doing freelance copywriting work or photo editing jobs.

It runs 63 inches long and 31.5 inches wide, with a minimum height of 22 inches and a maximum height of 48 inches, so it’s wide enough for a couple to work across from each other on each side, or long enough for two people to work side-by-side if they prefer.

For something more compact and exciting in the aesthetics department, the Jarvis Standing Desk from Fully is a perfect choice because it’s extremely sturdy, easy to assemble, and very affordable.

No matter which adjustable desk you choose, we think it’s one of the best work-from-home products for remote workers because it can help improve their posture and alleviate aches and pains, and it should potentially be the first thing anyone purchases for a work-from-home office.

3. Standing Desk Converter (For Regular Desks That You Want to Adjust)

If you know someone who works at home and complains about back pain or a poor desk situation, a standing desk converter as a gift is a great way to surprise them.

A standing desk converter is essentially a small platform or workstation that sits on top of your existing desk and allows you to work in a more comfortable and healthier standing position.

We recommend the Varidesk Pro Plus 36 standing desk converter because it’s extremely easy to set up and use, and it’s very affordable. Compared to other options on the market, it’s also one of the sturdier standing desk converters that we’ve used.

If you want a desk converter with a bit more storage space, we recommend the Flexispot M Series standing desk converter. It comes with a built-in keyboard tray and shelf, which is great for storing extra accessories.

4. Super-Fast Lightweight Laptop

For creatives and people who prefer Apple products, we recommend the MacBook Pro. Available with a 13-inch, 14-inch, or 16-inch laptop screen, it’s lightweight and super fast, making it perfect for work tasks like video editing, photo editing, and web design.

If you’re on a budget, the MacBook Air is another awesome option because it’s even more lightweight, and it has long-lasting battery life. The Air is also way more affordable than the Pro, so if you don’t need as much memory or power, this MacBook product could be the better option.

For PC users, there is a wide range of options, but we recommend the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 and the newer model, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360. They’re both super light and have incredibly long battery life, so you can work throughout the day without having to worry about running out of juice. I personally use the OG version of the Galaxy Book Pro 360 laptop, along with a Lenovo IdeaPad 5i laptop, to get my work done every day.

5. Powerful All-in-One Desktop Workstation

If you’re looking for a powerful all-in-one desktop workstation, we recommend the iMac in beautiful green. It’s our favorite all-in-one because it comes with a 24-inch Retina display screen, an Apple M1 chip with an 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, an 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine.

For those who prefer non-Apple products, we recommend the HP ENVY All-in-One Desktop Workstation. It’s our favorite non-Apple all-in-one because it has a 34-inch display, a 12th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 (6 GB GDDR6 dedicated) graphics.

6. External Keyboard and Mouse Combo

When working at a sit-stand desk, many of us work-from-homers elevate our laptops on a stand and use a wireless keyboard at desk level instead of reaching up and typing on our laptop’s keys.

Not only does this help avoid carpal tunnel from overextending their arms and fingers, it also feels more comfortable than any laptop keys I’ve ever used, and I can type noticeably faster on it, to boot.

Plus, you can run a wireless mouse on the same transmitter, and you get more bang for your buck by buying both items as a bundle.

I recommend choosing from the many Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Sets because they’re so well-made and varied depending on your needs, and they work with almost any computer. Plus, you won’t have to worry about tangled wires, and their mice options are very comfortable to use.

For Mac users, grab the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse. They’re both Apple quality and work seamlessly with Mac products.

7. Noise-Canceling Headphones

Noise-canceling headphones are one of the best work-from-home gifts because of how well they help people concentrate and block out loud surroundings, something you find while working at home and remotely.

My partner and I especially like the Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-cancelling headphones because they’re exceptionally comfortable compared to competitors, they’re wireless, they have adjustable EQ settings, and they come with Bose’s proprietary acoustic technology that blows away the competition.

If you’re looking for a more affordable work-from-home present that does the same thing, grab Sony’s WH-CH710N Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones. They’re not as elite as the Bose QuietComfort 45, but they’re still a great pair of noise-canceling headphones at a more affordable price.

8. Ear Headphones / Earbuds

If your friend or family member who works from home prefers ear headphones or earbuds, I’d opt for gifting them what I use — Samsung Galaxy Buds. The new Galaxy Buds2 Pro are available now, and they come with noise-canceling technology that will wow your recipient.

My light blue Samsung buds completely eliminate external noise from the equation when I’m working, and they have a setting that can be adjusted to where you can actually hear external sounds better if you need to do so for any reason.

For Apple users, scoop up the old-school AirPods or the AirPods Pro, which deliver the Apple-quality sound you know and love.

9. Purple Royal Seat Cushion

For people who sit all day working from home in a desk job, the Purple Royal Seat Cushion is an absolute revelation.

Ferreal: If you decide to get this work-from-home gift for anyone, don’t be surprised if you hear things like: “My butt can’t stop thanking you, yo!”

Forget memory foam: This seat cushion is made from the same patented material as the outstanding Purple Mattress, easily the most comfortable thing I’ve ever slept on.

Your recipient can even bring this seat cushion to their car, as truck drivers sweat by its comfort, durability, and lower back and butt support for hours on end (literally).

Rarely do we recommend product types by one brand alone, but in the case of seat cushions and mattresses, Purple is king (which makes sense — it is the color of royalty, after all).

10. Laptop Stand or Lap Desk

A laptop stand or a lap desk is another awesome work-from-home present that many of us remote workers don’t know we need until we’re gifted one. Think of it like a portable workspace that allows one to easily work from bed or the couch, or to ensure their laptop is at the right height on their desk.

I recommend getting the laptop stand that I use: the Nearpow Laptop Bed Tray Table.

There are different widths available and it’s lightweight, so you can get a laptop stand that can fold up and easily fit in a suitcase for your friends who frequently work remotely, or you can get something wider as a present for people who work from home more often.

11. HD Webcam

A webcam is a must-have for anyone who works at home and has video calls and team meetings all day long, every day.

I recommend the Logitech C920s Pro. It has a 78-degree field of view, a full HD glass lens, and HD auto light correction, so your recipient will look great on video calls. Plus, it comes in a bundle with a privacy shutter and a Knox Gear 4-port 3.0 USB hub.

12. Digital Photo Frame

As a destination wedding photographer, I understand the importance of each and every photo we capture, and a digital photo frame makes for an excellent and thoughtful gift that will help your friends and family feel more connected to their loved ones, even when they can’t be there in person.

I recommend the Nixplay Smart Photo Frame because it’s easy to use and set up, it has a sleek design, and it’s available in a variety of sizes.

13. Electric Foot Massager

An electric foot massager is a work-from-home gift that your friends and family’s feet will absolutely love. It’s perfect for people who work long hours on their feet or sit at a desk all day.

I recommend the RENPHO Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat + Deep Kneading because it’s affordable, it has a heating function, and it has deep-kneading massage nodes.

14. Travel Mug

A travel mug is a great gift for any coffee or tea fan who works at home, and they’ll always think of you as they use your gift to keep caffeinated throughout the day.

I recommend the Contigo Autoseal West Loop Stainless Steel travel mug because it’s leak-proof and spill-proof, it has a one-touch auto-seal button, and it’s available in a variety of colors, making it the perfect coffee mug to gift your remote work fam.

15. Notebook & Pen Set

Who needs a pad and pen for taking notes on team calls when they could write their notes in a fancy paper notebook instead? A notebook and pen set is a timeless gift that will help your WFH friends and family stay organized while looking old-school cool in the process.

I recommend the Leuchtturm1917 Medium A5 Dot Grid Notebook because it’s available in a variety of cover colors, it has 192 pages of acid-free paper, and it comes with a matching pen.

16. Fancy Scented Candles

A fancy scented candle is a home office gift that will help your friends and family relax, unwind, and feel truly at home while they work.

I’m a fan of many fancy candle brands when it comes to WFH gifts, especially when they come in a fancy box that makes a statement. That said, I highly recommend the Diptyque Baies/Berries Scented Candle because it’s made with natural wax, it has a burn time of approximately 60 hours, and it comes in a beautiful glass jar that’s packaged in a classy box.

17. An Artificial Decorative Office Plant

No one wants to work in a home office devoid of vibrant green nature, but people who work from home don’t always want to deal with caring for a living, breathing plant.

Enter the artificial plant as one of the best work-from-home office gifts, available in an array of sizes and styles.

I recommend finding something like this awesome artificial cactus at Artificial Plants & Trees, or choosing another nifty plant that you know your recipient likes. They’ll think of you every time they lay their eyes on it in their office.

18. Clever Fox Planner

If you’re looking for a work-from-home gift to help your friend or fam stay organized and they prefer an old-school approach, the Clever Fox Planner is a dateless planner that helped both me and my partner gain better control over day-to-day tasks.

With lots of colors to choose from and an array of sections that borrow from the Bullet Journal school of thought, including a scratch pad and personal journal, the Clever Fox Planner is the stylish way to help people WFH stay on top of their shit.

19. Topo Anti-Fatigue Mat

An anti-fatigue mat is an impactful work-from-home gift that will help your friends and family stay comfortable and keep their feet pain-free while they work all day at their standing desks.

I worked without a mat for months at the beginning of my career because I didn’t know they existed, and since I gifted one to myself, my WFH quality of life has increased immeasurably.

I recommend the Topo Anti-Fatigue mat from Fully because its shape is unique and it allows people to stretch and massage their feet throughout the day while also providing relief from standing on hard floors.

20. A New Smartphone

A new smartphone (with a protective cover) is a life-changing gift for people who work from home or remotely that will help them stay connected and be productive while working from home and remotely.

If you’re looking for an Apple phone, the iPhone 14 Pro Max because it has all the bells and whistles that she knows and loves from being an Apple phone customer for more than a decade.

For Android phone lovers, snag the Samsung Galaxy S23+ because it’s comparable to an iPhone, and it has an even better camera that can be used to photograph and film work projects, content creation, and so much more.

Don’t forget to get a sleek protective cover from Casetify

What Are the Best Travel Gifts For People Working Remotely?

As a remote worker, I’m always thrilled when I receive travel-related gifts, as I typically take multiple trips per year for work.

It’s always vital to have the right travel essentials for remote work on hand for maximum comfort and minimum stress, and the following items make great travel gifts for people who work remotely in your life.

21. Carry-On Luggage

Who wouldn’t be happy with a new suitcase or luggage set as a gift when they’re a remote worker? I know I’d be thrilled!

If you truly want to wow your recipient, snag The Carry-On Plus from Monos, which is super sleek, light AF, and comes with great wheels for hard airport floors. It’s what I personally use with my partner when traveling for work, and we also have a large Monos suitcase we check.

You may also find great gift options in different colors from AWAY, like The Bigger Carry-On from AWAY. I once did consulting and SEO content creation for them and got to go to their office and check out their whole line of luggage, and it is really good stuff!

Sometimes they have limited edition luggage in remarkable colors, so if you’re looking for an eye-catching gift for remote workers, check out AWAY’s site.

22. Travel Backpack

If your gift recipient is more of a “one bag” traveler, they might prefer a backpack that can double as a work and travel bag,

Some of our favorite travel backpacks for remote workers include the Osprey Farpoint 40, the REI Co-op Trailbreak 60, and the Patagonia Black Hole 25L Backpack.

It also has a really cool feature where you can open it up flat so that it goes through TSA security faster (and who doesn’t want that?).

We also like the Osprey Farpoint 40, the REI Co-op Trailbreak 60, and the Patagonia Black Hole 25L backpack.

23. Portable Bluetooth Speakers

For remote workers who love listening to podcasts and music while they travel, consider gifting them portable Bluetooth speakers.

We like the Bose SoundLink Mini II Bluetooth speaker because of its sleek design, durable construction, and booming bass.

If you’re looking for a more affordable option, we recommend the Anker SoundCore. It’s not as well-made as the Bose SoundLink Mini II, but it’s still a great Bluetooth speaker with enhanced bass and it’s more affordable.

24. DSLR Camera

When choosing a DSLR camera as a gift for someone, the three most important factors to consider are image quality, portability, and price. You’ll want to make sure your camera takes high-quality photos, is small enough to easily pack in your backpack or carry-on bag, and makes sense for your budget.

For our luxury destination wedding photography company, my partner and I use Canon DSLR cameras, and we highly recommend the Mark IV and use the older Mark III model as a backup.

We also use and recommend the smaller Sony a7 iii mirrorless camera, since it has a lightweight body, takes stellar stills, and is generally easy to carry and transport than the bulkier Canon cameras.

25. Microphone

For people working from home or remotely, there are two main types of microphones: USB microphones and XLR microphones. USB microphones are typically less expensive and easier to use, while XLR microphones offer better sound but require more setup.

We recommend the Shure SM7B because of its unmatched sound quality for the price, as well as its portability. We own an SM7B and use it for recording guitar, vocals, voicework, and sound for videos, and we find it easy to transport with us on trips.

We also own and recommend the Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone. It’s a totally different kind of mic than the Shure SM7B, and it’s also a bit smaller and lighter in weight. It’s much more affordable to buy than the SM7B, so you may be able to save a few hundred bucks by getting the Audio-Technica mic if you don’t care about sound nuance.

26. Sweatshirt / Hoodie

A good sweatshirt or hoodie is an essential buy for any remote worker.

Why? Because you never know when you’re going to be working in a cold hotel room, on a flight for hours, or in a coffee shop with the air conditioning cranked up.

A good travel sweatshirt should be warm, comfortable, and easy to pack. We like the Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Hooded Jacket because it’s all of those things. It’s also surprisingly affordable (it starts at $39.90), and it comes in a variety of colors and styles for both men and women.

If you’re looking for something a little warmer as a gift, we recommend the Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket. It’s made with recycled materials, it’s super warm, and it’s packable into its own pocket, making it easy to take with you on the go.

27. Coat or Jacket

If you’re going to be getting a gift for someone working remotely, chances are they’re going to find a coat or jacket useful for traveling.

Our favorite coats and jackets for working remotely include the Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket (for men) and the North Face Resolve Parka (for women). Both of these coats are made with waterproof materials, they have a comfortable fit, and they come in a variety of colors and styles.

What Are the Best Home Kitchen + Foodie Gifts For People Working From Home?

As a former professional chef who now works from home and remotely, I can attest that it’s vital to have certain essential kitchen tools to ensure you’re eating enough healthy meals throughout the workday.

That’s why home kitchen goods and culinary products make for some of the best gifts for people who work from home.

Here are some of my favorite work from home gifts for foodies who love to cook and eat:

28. An Instant Pot

If there’s one piece of kitchen equipment everyone working from home needs to own, it’s an Instant Pot. This magical little appliance can do it all, from whipping up a whole chicken to cooking up a batch of steel-cut oats for breakfast.

Because the Instant Pot is essentially a pressure cooker with a bunch of other functions built in, like saute, slow-cook, and sterilize, you can pretty much cook anything you need to with this must-have cooking tool, and it saves hours of time without taking up a ton of room.

I recommend gifting a 6-quart Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Instant Pot with all the bells and whistles, including a sterilizer setting (great for sterilizing baby bottles, as well as jars for making jams, jellies, and pickles) a slow-cooker function to cook chili and stew all day, and a setting for keeping foods at a hot temperature during the day.

The Instant Pot comes with over 800 recipe ideas so your people will never run out of cooking ideas.

Price: Get it now for $99.95 with free shipping.

29. Air Fryer

This handy little gadget uses hot air to “fry” food instead of oil, so you can get all the flavor of deep-fried foods without any of the guilt or extra calories.

Time and temperature can be adjusted accordingly, as well, so that foods can be served warm or piping hot, depending on the dish.

Plus, cleanup is a breeze, with many air fryer inserts being dishwasher safe – just another reason why an air fryer belongs on this list of kitchen essentials.

I recommend getting what I have, the Gourmia 7-Quart Air Fryer with Digital Display, another work-from-home gift I received from my mom that proved to be highly impactful in the kitchen. The only thing is that it does take up a decent amount of room, so you may not want to gift this to someone with a small kitchen.

Price: Get it now for $119.99 with free shipping.

30. Rice Cooker

A rice cooker takes all the guesswork out of cooking perfect rice – it will never boil over and is super easy to clean. That makes it a great gift for people working from home who enjoy cooking.

I recommend what I use, the Aroma rice cooker, which also comes with a plastic steamer basket insert that can be used to quickly warm up vegetables in the healthiest way or to perfectly steam up store-bought frozen dumplings.

I also like that the Aroma rice cooker has a 20-cup capacity for cooked rice (10 cups uncooked), so your gift recipient can make bulk batches of rice and have enough to invite you over for dinner to show their gratitude.

Price: Get yours now for $39.99 including shipping.

31. High-Quality Chef’s Knife (or Santoku Knife)

No kitchen is complete without a good chef’s knife, and anyone working from home can attest that it feels great to take cooking breaks between hours sitting behind a desk typing away.

Having an awesome chef’s knife makes cooking so much easier and better, and a high-quality kitchen knife is the kind of work-from-home gift that will always be remembered fondly.

I highly recommend knives from Messermeister Meridian Elite or Wusthof, which makes a great two-piece knife set with an 8-inch chef’s knife and a 4-inch utility knife.

Or, score a santoku knife, similar to a chef’s knife, but with a completely different shape and a slightly thinner blade that makes it perfect for slicing and dicing vegetables.

I sometimes prefer my santoku over my chef’s knife, and I use both depending on what I’m cooking and how I feel.

Price: Get your chef’s knife now for $119 or pick up the santoku knife I use, a Messermeister Meridian Elite 7-inch Santoku Knife, for $149.95 including shipping.

32. Cutting Boards

A good cutting board is a kitchen essential, and you can never have too many. I like to have at least two – one for meat and one for everything else.

For an eye-appealing home kitchen gift for people who work from home, pick up the reBoard cutting board from Material Kitchen, perfect for any environmentally conscious home cooks who want to equip their kitchens with something that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

I dig the reBoard in the dark blue-green color “Deep” and the vibrant green known as “Reimagine Justice,” but you might prefer the Sand, Coral, Tide, or the pinkish beige known as “To Pó-Po, with Love.”

It’s also dishwasher-safe, giving it a leg up on its wooden cutting board counterparts.

Price: Get yours now for $35 or 3 for $80 including shipping.

33. Immersion Blender (a.k.a Hand Blender or Stick Blender)

An immersion blender or hand blender is a must-have kitchen gadget for anyone who likes to make soups, sauces, and smoothies.

This handheld blender lets you blend right in the pot or container, including your handy Instant Pot, so there’s less cleanup. It’s also much cheaper than a traditional blender and takes up a fraction of the room in your kitchen workspace.

Grab this affordable Cuisinart 2-Speed Immersion Blender as a present for your foodie friends who work from home and they’ll be able to return the gesture with plenty of purees.

Price: Get yours now for $49.99 including shipping.

34. Nonstick Pan Set

Nonstick pans are necessary for cooking things like eggs, pancakes, delicate fish filets, and grilled cheese sandwiches – all of which are staples on the work-from-home diet (at least on mine…), but are next to impossible to make in a regular pan without sticking.

I recommend this two-piece set of durable nonstick pans from Anolon that I personally use at home. With an 8-inch and 10-inch nonstick pan set, your gift recipient be able to make the best omelets, pan-fried fish, and pancakes possible, without the headache of having to scrape off

gnarly crusty bits when you’re cleaning up.

Price: Get yours now for $99.95 including shipping.

35. Vitamix Blender

If you have a beloved friend or family member who works at home and is as serious about smoothies, soups, and sauces as I am, then consider snagging need a Vitamix blender.

Not only is this blender smart, as in you could hook it up to an app that tells it exactly how you want it to blend, but it also allows you to do things that other blenders can’t, like make the most amazing nut butter ever and grind coffee beans to perfection.

Now that I own one myself, I’m fully onboard that they’re 100% the best blender money can buy, and I’m always amazed by how well they work, including the custom blending functions you can access from the app.

Surprisingly, they don’t take up much kitchen counter space, either.

Price: Get it now for $499.95 including shipping.

36. KitchenAid Stand Mixer

The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is an absolute must-have kitchen tool for people who work from home and like to bake.

With 10 speeds and a 5-quart mixing bowl, I recommend the KitchenAid KSM150PSAQ Artisan Series 5-Qt. Stand Mixer with Pouring Shield. It comes with a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook, a 6-wire whip, and a pouring shield, with the flat beater and dough hook being dishwasher-safe.

I gifted myself with one of these amazing pieces of kitchen machinery, and it proved to be one of the best gifts for when I started working from home after I was able to escape the 9-to-5 and become my own boss.

Price: Get yours now for $449.99 with free shipping.

37. Set of Pots and Pans

Every kitchen needs a good set of pots and pans, and I recommend the sturdy Anolon Nouvelle Copper 11-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set, which features:

• a 1.75-quart saucepan with lid
• a 3.5-quart saucepan with lid
• an 8.25-quart stockpot with lid
• an 8-inch skillet
• a 12-inch skillet with lid
• a 3-quart saute pan with lid and helper handle

All the pieces in the set are oven-safe up to a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit, dishwasher-safe, and suitable for all cooktops, including being safe for induction cooktops.

Price: Get yours now for $379.95 with free shipping as of publishing time.

38. An Amazing Spice Collection

If you’ve ever talked to me about food and cooking, then you know I’m absolutely obsessed with spices.

Not only have I been ordering spices online for more than a decade, I’ve also written articles about essential spice blends and spice subscription sets for BuzzFeed, and I have no problem licking seasoning off the palm of my hand in front of other people. (When you gotta taste, you gotta taste.)

I’ve also gotten into the habit of getting spice sets as gifts for people who work from home, as they’re absolutely essential for cooking flavorful dishes with minimal time and effort — exactly what people working from home are looking for when it comes to meals.

A true showstopper spice set gift is this awesome spice set from The Spice House known as the Best of Spice House Collection. This company is based in Chicago and has been around since 1957, originally owned by the Penzey family that also owns competitor Penzeys Spices.

This premium spice set features essential one-off spices such as ground Saigon cassia cinnamon, Tellicherry black peppercorns, granulated garlic, Hungarian sweet paprika, sumac, smoked Spanish sweet paprika, and ground cumin seed, along with the brand’s signature international spice blends that make it so freakin’ easy to whip up gourmet cuisines from around the world.

These blends include Lake Shore Drive shallot & herb seasoning, Gateway to the North maple garlic seasoning, Vulcan’s Fire Salt, Chipotle Garlic Barbecue Blend, Salmon Seasoning, Spiced Vanilla Sugar, Peri Peri Mozambique Blend, everything bagel, sweet curry, Garam Masala, Brisket of Love Barbecue Rub, Carne Asada seasoning, Greektown Mediterranean seasoning, Shawarma Seasoning, and Jamaican Jerk seasoning, giving you an internationally inspired array of options for easy dinners every night of the week.

Price: Get your Best of Spice House Collection now for just $200 (or $185 in flatpacks instead of glass jars) with shipping included.

39. Cold Brew Coffee Maker

If you have a friend or family member who works at home and loves coffee, a solid cold-brew coffee maker is the perfect gift.

When testing and reviewing cold brew coffee makers for BuzzFeed, I had the opportunity to try out more than a dozen different models at various price points, and some performed way better than others.

Out of all the models, nothing came close to the KitchenAid cold brew coffee maker in terms of quality coffee taste and ease of use and cleaning, and I highly recommend it as a present for coffee lovers working from home.

Price: Get yours today for $89.99

40. PUR Water Dispenser

Drinking enough water is crucial for people working from home, and it’s oh-so-easy to forget. That’s why I recommend the PUR Water Dispenser as a good gift for anyone who works at home.

The 44-cup model is slightly bigger than the PUR I have, and it’s also the largest model, making it my recommendation if you’re getting one as a gift.

Price: Get yours now for just $49.99.

41. Air Purifier
